Dear Family, Friends, and Other Invited Guests

A few things you should know about our wedding.

Dear Family, Friends, and Other Invited Guests,

We are so happy you are going to join us on the Big Day!

You all have such a special place in our hearts, and we are delighted that you are planning to spend this weekend with us as we celebrate our love for you and one another.

We want to make your stay as comfortable as possible, so there are a few things you should know about Lake Ponkawog. (The most important being that Bob proposed to Kathy on the eastern shore one year ago!) It's hard to believe that the 12 months have flown by so fast. There were so many days when we thought we wouldn't make it, either psychologically or financially, so the fact that we are getting married after all makes it even more special to us.

(Whoops! Bob is pulling Kathy's hair and telling her to get to the point, so here goes.)

ACCOMMODATIONS:

Located on scenic Lake Ponkawog, the "Inn at Lake Ponkawog" has two rustic cabins that sleep four to 12 each (depending on how you feel about sharing floor space). These will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. Everyone else will be assigned to one of 30 tent sites--unless of course you'd like to join Bob and Kathy and sleep out under the stars!

If you don't own your own tent, you will be able to lease one from the inn, but in that case, please bring your own mosquito netting, as many of the inn's tents are old and ripped, and the lake is famous for its KILLER Squites!

CHILDREN AND PETS:

Love is not about keeping people out, it's about inviting people in. In other words, we want to invite all those who would normally be excluded. Kathy is inviting her entire nursery school class so, please, hug a 4-year-old!
